Grammar Does Not Exist 2 [looking back, this was an unnecessary act of conciliation intended to placate to the grammarati; I am through trying to please everyone. Ramses is right. The truth is that you-do-not-need a declarative knowledge of grammar; you need a working, physical, almost kinesthetic one; declarative knowledge/study of grammar tends to impede this rather than help it. Ultimately, things are said the way they are said because that is the way they are said. Period. Full stop. End of sentence. 終止符. So-called grammar rules are virtually always ugly, exception-ridden patterns observed and “imposed” ex post facto]

There are a lot of trolls out there hating you. [@RevTK]
Don’t worry khatz, they have no reason to hate.
Just do what you do, sir.
Without you, I’m certain thousands of people wouldn’t have succeeded in learning a foreign language (including me)
Many people would have quit a few months into their endavors.

Incredibly motivational site for people that need structure, and for people that need to be spoon-fed.

I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to post. You are very uplifting and its really inspirational. I like to read your post’s whenever I am feeling down about my Japanese ability or I’m just feeling too worn out to study, I especially needed your uplifting articles and comments right before the JLPT this past weekend! Thank you and Merry Christmas (or whatever other Holiday you might celebrate this time of year).

Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? Appreciate it
